Please describe your experience in dentistry?

Answer 1

Hate going. Big shot of Novocaine, then no pain!

Answer 2

I was unafraid of the dentist as a kid. I loved going b/c I always got a cool sticker or something when I left. And I wasn't afraid of shots; pretty much the only thing I felt was a needle stick full of novocaine. Then when I was about 15, I had a dentist drill for a cavity. She had given me 5 shots (five!) and I still wasn't numb. I told her this but she insisted on drilling. I screamed bloody murder when she hit that nerve. That is some kinda pain!!

After that I was terrified to go to the dentist. As an adult, I discovered nitrous oxide, or laughing gas. Now, I usually sit all slobbery and bleary eyed, happy as a clam, while the dentist is rooting around in my teeth and trying to convince me to open my mouth. Don't mind it at all. lol

Answer 3

Dentistry is the art and science of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions, diseases, and disorders of the oral cavity, the maxillofacial region, and its associated structures as it relates to human beings. A dentist is a doctor qualified to practice dentistry. In most countries, several years of training in a university (usually 4-8) and some practical experience working with actual patients' dentition are required to become a qualified dentist. The patron saint of dentists is Saint Apollonia, martyred in Alexandria by having all her teeth violently extracted.

The first dental school opened in Baltimore Maryland. The first dental school to affiliate with a university became part of Harvard

Answer 5

Many parents expect their children either to act up or be little angels at the dentist. With children, you really never know quite what you are going to get. Here is a list of what I generally see with children at different ages and what to expect as far as behavior in the dental office. I have to say I have a two year old nephew who do better than a teenager.

I also have seen parents in worse shape than their kids. The behavior is what I usually see for dental exams or cleanings. If they do have cavities or other treatment needs, I use the cleaning/exam appointment to evaluate their response. If I think they will be fussy for treatment, then we discuss how to make that better. There are always exceptions to what I am presenting here, but this is how it goes:

Babies-They usually do well for an exam or just cry a little. Give them their pacifier and they are as good as new.

One year Olds-they usually do quite well although if they are closer to two things can get a little loud.

Two Year Olds-They don't call this age the "terrible twos" for nothing. These kids are by far the hardest to examine. They almost always cry to be examined. I mean they really scream like there is no tomorrow. They fight too. This is the age that they begin to establish independence. This is especially true for the "headstrong" kids. They really don't like to lie down for an exam. I can look a little with them sitting up, but can't really do a complete exam. So, we have them lie down, the parent holds their hands, and I take a really quick look. I don't mind the noise, although the resistance can make the exam more difficult. I always hope the parents realize this kind of fussing is normal for this age. I don't want them to think the child is in any kind of real distress. I don't want them to be mad at me for just looking at their child's teeth. The parents I worry most about are the first timers. Parents who have more than one child often understand the normal reactions. I know the child is not traumatized for life just for counting thier teeth. In fact these fussy two year olds often become model patients after a couple more years of regular visits.

Three Year Olds-this is a transition age. Some three year olds are just as fussy as the two year olds just bigger and stronger. Some are model patients who let you lay them down, clean their teeth, and often do fillings without protest. Even a particular three year old may respond differently depending on what side of the bed he woke up on that day. You know what I am talking about.

Four year Olds-I like four year olds. Most of the time they are the best patients. They hop up into the chair; let you take x-rays, fillings, whatever. They can't do this for long, but most do quite well. Again, there are exceptions. Some are as "head strong" as the two year olds.

Five through Eight-Regular kids. Most do quite well. I can communicate with these kids and can guide them through almost anything.

Eight to Eleven-Most do well, but these are the "needlephobic" years. You can have a perfectly calm child who throws a giant fit if he thinks he is going to get a "shot". Read here for more info on that bad word: Pedo Lingo. After they have received appropriate anesthesia, they revert back to cooperative patients.

Teenagers--Most do well although some have typical teenager "attitudes". You have to take into account whether they are the "I'm too cool to care/whatever" type or who are extremely preoccupied with their appearances.
